POSITIVE MESSENGERS – COMBATTING ONLINE HATE SPEECH
Materials for Schools
AN OVERVIEW
2016 – present
“Coalition of Positive Messengers to Counter Online Hate Speech”
These draft materials have been developed by the UK partners in the Positive Messengers project – The Languages Company, Goldsmiths College and The British Council.
Positive Messengers is a project funded by the European Commission involving a consortium of 8 organisations from 7 European countries: Bulgaria, Italy, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Romania and the UK. It aims to confront the issue of online hate speech in particular hate speech which is targeted against migrants, refugees and people of different nationalities and religions.
The materials have been created for use in schools, both primary and secondary. They set out to explain the nature of hate speech, to dispel myths about immigrants and to help users to combat hatred and to develop a counter narrative.
They are freely available and downloadable.
Your response
The materials are still in draft form. We very much want teachers, student teachers and others working with children to make use of them, to try them out and to let us know what works and what needs to be developed further.
We would be very happy to receive your suggestions and draft materials.
The aim will be to produce a more definitive version online later this year.
